Once Valentine

On the other side of our house
A large plot of lush grass
Inside a pointy iron fence
Forbidden but unstoppable
Our naked feet loved to run
Catch and fall and roll around
In that cushy watery green
From those days I must have sent
A postcard just arriving in my
Broken mail-box of a brain
To remind me as a child
I spent some days in paradise
I once was free and wise
And will be once again
